Sex-specific association of presentation glucose level with mortality risk and LV-GLS. (a) The graph shows the adjusted hazard ratios (solid lines) and 95% confidence intervals (dashed lines and shaded area) for the association between presentation glucose level and 5-year mortality in men (blue) and women (red). The glucose level was modeled with RCS in Cox models. The reference of glucose level was set at 125 mg/dL for hazard ratios estimation. Density plots show the distribution of patients according to the glucose level. (b) RCS curves were plotted between presentation glucose level and LV-GLS. Each dot indicates an individual patient’s data. LV-GLS = left ventricular global longitudinal strain, RCS = restricted cubic spline.
